I look at how the Canucks were used the year they went to the cup finals and think this coaching staff should mimic how that team was deployed.
Hopefully the Lindholm/Tkachuk line can be the tougher defensive line (that are also annoying to play against) like the Kesler line was, Monahan/Gaudreau can have the more sheltered offensive minutes like the Sedins had that year, and the Backlund line can be the defensively responsible third line like the Malholtra line was (I think the Backlund/Mangiapane line would be much better than the Malholtra line was though)

Shamelessly dive to draw penalties and put the Sedins out on the PP?
(I know they had over 70 pct o zone starts )
